And the fact that Asuka's never pinned Rhea before, you're going, really?

She hasn't.

We've seen a lot of versions of Rhea.

This one is potential biggest star in the company.

Who was it?

Thank you.

No, it wasn't.

And, you know, Kairi Sane had a bit of a role.

In this victory for Asuka as well.

And I was thinking about, you know, the Kabuki Warriors and they're defending the tag titles against Io and Rhea in just two weeks on first Raw of the year.

But there was a time when we were really looking at the Kabuki Warriors being like, wow, Asuka's sort of running a dictatorship.

Mm-hmm.

we saw the way that she treated EO and then we saw her screaming backstage for Kyrie.

Oh, how'd she do it?

Yeah, every week on Raw we saw that.

And there was a while where I sort of felt sympathy for Kyrie, right?

I said, oh, poor Kyrie has to work under these conditions.

But as the weeks passed by, we saw this aggression out of Kyrie that wasn't, oh, I'm being forced to do this.

It was like, no, I like winning.

I like being a champion.
